I just wanted to thank you for posting this helpful tip! I successfully installed this today and I'm 100% positive I would have stripped the Torx head had I not read about this before. Those bolts are on extremely tight for a Torx head bolt. They're definitely not intended to ever come out. I...
First off, congrats on formulating a post title that basically went viral here. Well done!
I'm in my 60's and have owned lots of vehicles. The only previous vehicle that I've owned that I would trade the Lightning for is a 1964 1/2 Mustang convertible in collector-condition that I bought in CA...
Wait...Are you're really saying that a big reason you bought a Lightning was that you wouldn't need to change brake pads very often because of 1PD? Putting low brake maintenance that high on the priority list when making a vehicle purchasing decision is way more, well....let's say...
I was surprised yesterday when I received a notification while I was parked with the vehicle on that an OTA update was pending for 1 am the next morning. I wish I had taken a pic of the screen. First time I’d ever seen that. I confirmed this morning that it actually did happen.
I've read nearly every post on this topic and I've yet to be persuaded that there's any significant benefit to the vehicle (battery, brakes, etc) to using 1PD over 2PD. And I think a valid argument can be made that it may actually be more dangerous in some situations.
But It does seem like...
I just bought a new 2023 VIN 1FTVW1EL7PWG58631 I would be especially interested in any info on the Control Module BECM status. I received the notice on the FordPass app to take it in to the dealer for the 23B57 update. The dealer kept it a full day only to tell me they couldn't do it and...
Update: I got a text from the sales manager yesterday that my Lightning was in. I just got back and left empty handed. My MSRP went up $2,500 which put the MSRP at $82,009 so it's over the $80K limit for the tax credit. No price protection offered. Super low trade value offered for my...
Got the "Shipped" email yesterday. Estimated arrival 6/30-7/6. But right now I'm not inclined to go through with the purchase. So much has changed in the market since I placed my order in December-- And then there's the issue of the MSRP increasing above $80K. Unless the dealer is willing to...
Here's my order and the sticker showing the price increase. Assuming that I have "price protection", do you know what the IRS will require for proof? The screen shot of my order would be the only thing I have. I'd hate to buy it and then have a problem with the IRS over the tax credit due to...
Yes, that's the way I understood it when I ordered. Base MSRP + Options = Total MSRP for tax credit calculation purposes. My original order is below. The Base MSRP at the time was $74,474. I added $3,140 in options for a total of $77,614. I pulled up my sticker last week and it showed Base...
I also received the email about the delay. But my biggest concern is that my sticker shows an MSRP increase of $2,500 over my order price which now puts my MSRP over $80k which put my tax credit in doubt. Maybe this has been covered in a thread somewhere else, but does anyone have any insights...
